The main road in the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" film and television city.

Most of these people were just brought in from the crew’s cooperating units.

All they want is some compensation and a little profit for themselves.

I never expected that the crew would be different from the previous times and cut off cooperation!
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and hundreds of people talking together can be quite intimidating.

Among the crew members, except for Hong Kong veterans like Ju Jueliang, the other actors became panicked when they saw this.

Fortunately, after receiving advance notice from Zhao Xinxin, Zhang Yuan went to seek help just like Monkey King.

Zhang Yuan was not as scared as the others, not because he was brave, but because he had seen a lot in his previous life.

……

On the contrary, if you pay them enough, you have no idea how strong these workers can be.

The speed of the project depends on the progress of payment, and this is not nonsense.

At this time, a bright yellow CAT forklift was slowly approaching, and the bloated Zhao Decai was standing in the forward-raised truck bed.

The rescuer Zhang Yuan sought was Boss Zhao, who had contracted the construction of a scenic spot nearby.

Zhao Decai was a drunkard and a womanizer. In terms of his cultural level, he basically escaped the nine-year compulsory education.

But he has one huge advantage, which is that he doesn't take money as a big deal.

After Zhang Yuan found Zhao Decai, the old man waved his hand.

"how many people?"

He immediately called his men over and informed them that they would not start work in the afternoon. He told everyone to go to the film and television city and receive an extra day's pay, which would be paid on the same day.

The daily wages of these six or seven hundred people are only tens of thousands of yuan.

Delaying the progress of the project will result in greater losses, at least hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands is a small amount of money for a coal boss.

However, Zhao Decai thought that it was Zhang Yuan who helped him to contact the job at this scenic spot.

And because the bearded guy made so much money, my brother didn't even feel comfortable taking a penny of kickbacks.

He has been so kind. If I don't support him now, how can I, Old Zhao, survive in the world in the future?
Coal bosses have a set of standards for doing things that seem tacky to outsiders.

But there are still a large number of practitioners in the entertainment industry in later generations who miss the era of coal bosses, and there is always a reason.

Crunch!

The bulldozer braked and the body of the truck swayed back and forth twice. Zhao Decai, who was standing in the truck bed and making a "shining appearance", almost fell out of the bed.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan was quick to catch him.

"Why are you pretending..."

Zhao Decai jumped out of the bucket carefully, turned to the side and kicked the door of the bulldozer to show his dissatisfaction with the driver.

"Hello, hello!" Fat Zhao took an electric loudspeaker from his younger brother and tried it out like a small town mayor.

"Bring it up!"

He shouted, and several older men wearing white helmets came up to the group, carrying several black suitcases.

blah blah blah!

When the box was opened and the contents were revealed, the people from the martial arts school opposite were immediately dazzled.

money!
Full of money!

A lot of red money, at least several million!

Gudong!

The leading coach showed a greedy look, swallowed hard, but gritted his teeth, raised his head and said.

"Don't think you can bribe us!"

As the saying goes, the more people lack something, the more they like to talk about it.

Just like what Jack Ma said that he misses the days of earning a few dozen yuan a month the most.

He said that he could not be bribed, but the person who came today actually came to extort money.

But as soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Decai and Zhang Yuan looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

One of them smiles like Stephen Chow, and the other smiles like Uncle Tat.

For a moment, the set was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The two of them slapped their thighs and laughed so hard that they almost pinched their noses.

After a long time, amid the puzzled looks of the others, the two brothers supported each other and talked while laughing.

"No, no?"

"You don't think this money is for you, do you?" Zhang Yuan's expression was as if he was looking at a fool.

Fatty Zhao raised his loudspeaker and shouted, "Ahem."

"Everyone listen up!"

"I brought three million in cash today!"

"We'll start in a moment."

"Whoever succeeds first, come to me and get the money." Fatty Zhao patted his chest and said loudly without any reservation.

In those days, 300,000 yuan in cash was roughly equivalent to a laborer's salary for ten years, or a skilled worker's salary for three to five years. After all, workers did not have work to do and receive salary every day.

“First come, first served!”

Money for you?
In those days, if an accident occurred in a mine or on a construction site, the compensation according to the law was no more than 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.

Is it inhumane to measure human life with money?

Talking about the preciousness of life with a coal boss like Zhao Decai is like talking to a cow.

Is there a single penny he earns that is not stained with blood?

When they heard that there was money to be won and everyone saw the boxes of cash, some of the workers were afraid, while others were jealous.

Especially many of the older workers who are already in their forties or fifties.

The purpose of working outside is to save up dowries for sons and daughters, and to build houses for the next generation.

I am old and can hardly work anymore. If I can make this money, even if I get fired later, my family will still live a good life. It’s worth it just thinking about it.

It is a very sad fact that for the poor, human life is worthless, whether it is someone else's or their own.

"You, you are scaring us!" The leading martial arts school coach reacted immediately and shouted back, wanting to expose the other party and boost morale for his own people.

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan did not show any weakness and replied very frankly: "We are just bluffing you."

"But... do you dare to bet?"

You bet I don't have any bullets in my gun.

I bet your head isn't as hard as a gun butt.

Let's see who gets scared first.

I'm just bluffing you, what can you do to me?

Look around you and see what the situation is. Are you still considering whether to scare people or not?

After hearing what he said, the people from the martial arts school were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

This group of people can only fight when the wind is in their favor. If they encounter any setbacks, they will scatter like birds and beasts.

If they really hurt someone, they would not end up well.

This bunch of people are nothing but a pile of hollow firewood that looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside.

"It's not good to use violence. We have something to talk about. Let's talk nicely." After holding it in for a long time, the coach finally spoke.

Zhang Yuan almost laughed out loud.

"Everyone, listen to my command!"

“Wait for me to wave!
"Mom!"

"I want to go home!"

"Mom, help me..."

Nothing had happened yet, but the crowd at the martial arts school was already crying out for their parents.

How to tell if a person is really scared? Telling the name of his father... that means he is panicking, but not afraid.

Mom, save me... then I'm really screwed.

It is human instinct to cry out for help when in despair.

"Mom, he will go to jail for doing this!" Liu Qianqian, who was pulled aside by her mother, was so anxious that she was about to cry.

As mentioned before, she likes being lively, but doesn't like violence.

Seeing this scene, I actually feel a little disgusted.

But on the one hand, he understood that this was a last resort, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Zhang Yuan would get too excited and make a big mistake.

But if this little girl understood this truth, how could Zhang Yuan not understand it?

No matter how big the affairs in the adult world are, everyone will eventually sit down at the negotiating table.

But most of the discussion results are not obtained at the negotiating table.

But it was won on the "battlefield" with fists before sitting down.

So Zhang Yuan was bluffing them, and this step was "force".

If you have "martial arts", you must have "culture".

Using fists to force the other party to negotiate can lead to negotiations, but it is still likely to cause trouble.

So at this moment, it would be best to have a third party peacemaker to act as a referee.

Zhang Yuan had already contacted this senior who was good at writing.

"Okay!"

At this moment, a strong and powerful voice broke the extremely tense atmosphere.

A figure with white hair and beard but a straight back came between the two groups with firm steps.

It’s Yu Chenghui!
The old man looked across with eyes like an eagle.

"More than ten to one, and you still lost. Stop being so shameless!"

"Uh..." The leader lowered his head in embarrassment after hearing what the old man said.

"This shows that your teaching level is not good enough."

The teachers at the martial arts school were so badly scolded by Mr. Yu that they couldn't even raise their heads.

Why are these people so depressed when they see Yu Chenghui?

As mentioned before, they are from Shandong Yuncheng Martial Arts School.

And Yu Chenghui is from Shandong!
He is from Penglai District, YT City.

In 60, he won the Qingdao competition championship and was specially recruited by SD Provincial Sports School.

Just think about it, he entered the school in 60, and his classmates and old friends have long become bigwigs in various martial arts-related departments in Shandong.

In addition, Mr. Yu later starred in "Shaolin Temple" and became a film and television star.

From then on, he became the living signboard of Shandong martial arts.

Whether in terms of connections or fame, Mr. Yu has a lot.

The old man was really pissed off and cursed at him at a gathering of Shandong martial arts bosses, and even the martial arts school leaders couldn't stand it.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Yu Chenghui turned around and looked in the direction of Zhang Yuan.

"You too, know you've suffered a loss..."

The martial arts school coach heard him say this.

Our students are all in the hospital, but he is full of energy. Do you think he is at a disadvantage?
I understood it immediately. The old man was obviously facing the opposite side.

"Consider it my honor, and all is gone."

"It's only because you gave the order that everyone should relax!" Zhang Yuan immediately cooperated.

In fact, he was the one who found Mr. Yu and they had already rehearsed the lines.

"Why don't you give me some face and sit down and talk. If you need to pay, pay the money. If you need to apologize, apologize. Don't embarrass our Shandong martial arts community."

"Hey, I'll listen to you!"

Now they knew that the old man was helping the other side, and their side was in a great disadvantage.

The old man gave the door, and the martial arts school people hurriedly took it.
This is the process: after the fistfight, there will be negotiation.

It's much easier to talk about now. It's just a matter of compensation.

It just so happened that Ju Jueliang had contacted Big Beard before.

Big Beard is such a smart man, he didn't come himself, but sent the unlucky Yu Min here.

Yu Min was almost scared when she saw nearly a thousand people at loggerheads in the film and television city.

In fact, he had arrived just now, but didn't dare to come out when he saw the situation.

It was not until Zhang Yuan had settled the matter that he came out dejectedly, clinging to the wall like a rat.

"Director Zhang asked me to handle it..." Yu Min glanced at everyone, especially at Zhang Yuan.

I thought to myself that this kid attracted so many people at once. If I had known what he would say, I would have done exactly that. I wouldn't have ended up like this.

When Ju Jueliang saw Yu Min coming, he quickly stepped aside.

He is a newcomer and doesn't want to get involved in this.

Now the conversation started very quickly.

In fact, it is nothing more than medical expenses and compensation for those students.

The school originally wanted to make more money from this opportunity. After all, they had made a lot of money from their previous cooperation with the crew. Now that the cooperation has ended, they plan to make another fortune before leaving.

Looking at the current situation, it is impossible to fish it out. It would be good enough if we can get away with it intact.

When Zhang Yuan saw that they started talking about money, he went outside the door.

The conversation lasted more than an hour.

Generally speaking, in this kind of negotiation, there will inevitably be scenes of slamming the table and cursing.

But today it is exceptionally quiet and harmonious.

Both sides truly had a polite conversation.

Why was Confucius able to travel around the countries and preach everywhere, and no one dared to criticize him?

Now, behind them are the seventy-two sages and three thousand disciples, led by Gong Liangru who is good at driving a chariot, Zilu who has a bad temper, and Tan Tai Zi Yu who is said to have slain a dragon in the river.

Wherever they go, everyone talks to Lao Kong in a friendly manner.

Everyone is willing to discuss philosophy with him.

Since you are unwilling to discuss the Dao, he may talk to you about the more vigorous ones among the six arts of a gentleman.

I told you about "etiquette" but you didn't listen, so let's talk about "strength".

Creak...the door was pushed open from the inside.

The leader of the martial arts school and Yu Min both walked out with gloomy faces.

"Director Yu!" Zhang Yuan, who had been waiting outside the door, called out immediately.

Yu Min shuddered all over.

When the martial arts school leader who came out with him saw him, he ran away quickly.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

"Uh... Zhang Yuan, what's the matter?"

Yu Min was filled with resentment towards Zhang Yuan for putting all the blame on him, which led to his dismissal, but he had to force a smile at this moment.

Doesn't he want to swear?
I don’t dare!
"How can I pay you the compensation for delaying the filming?"

Yu Min: …

Still bringing this up?

It is because of this that you screwed me over in front of Lao Ma.

But he had no choice but to shamelessly reply: "You didn't delay the crew, so you don't have to pay."

"Oh, then I don't have to compensate the crew, the crew should compensate me!" (End of this chapter)
